No no no - this can't be correct - Mr Roberts told us all through an employee at Hamilton that we would be in administration after we were defeated.............then we got beat at Partick - then QOS and .....................ermmm................no administratiion.

Now we find out that brannen is lying saying not just the fact that we aint going into administration but we are staying full time and offering players contracts - WHAT A LYING c**t...............

YES THAT IS YOU MR ROBERTS AND NOT OUR CHAIRMAN - AND GOOD THAT YOU MADE A TOTAL FANNY OF YOURSELF YET AGAIN!

Mr Roberts hasn't been seen since last Saturday.

But I bet he's reading this.

So I have a message for him.











GIRFUY YA TEDIOUS ARSEHOLE

That is all.

Good to see we might keep Curier. Didn't ever think that we would be considering going part time anyway. I'm actually more worried than reassured by them coming out with that, makes me wonder how close we are to staying in full time footie. Scary stuff!

I think it's more a reaction to the speculation, correct move from Brannan IMO.

Speculation from where, not Mr Roberts was it?

Clyde pay the equivalent of part-time wages and there are always players wanting to prove themselves whatever the level of wages. Alternatively, the club continues with a smaller squad.

It mentions having financial troubles, I take it this is a result of over spending this season as there weren't any last year?

Plus its good to see Rae has started building for next season.

Jocky Scott - get him back? You serious!

A strange one that they should announce staying full time ? just days after almost getting to the sPL.

Curier would be a good additiion.

Deadly

He is your soul mate.

Reynard - we were having a conversation on the spl forum - lets keep it there..............such acronomy

I believe the word you're looking for is acrimony. It's defined as bitterness, as in 'the bitter truth'.

Tip when trying to be clever - use words that you can at least spell. I can spell and use clever words, like administration...

Stop trying to use big words you know f**k all about

Tip - its the internet not an english exam but noted.......................NOW

TIP - WHILST TRYING TO BE CLEVER - DON'T RELY ON SOME FANNY THAT IS EMPLOYED BY HAMILTON - PUT YOUR NECK ON THE LINE ABOUT DUNDEE FC COUNTLESS TIMES AND LOOK LIKE A TOTAL FANNY.

Aye administration beckons (or should that be beckoned - you do the english exam)

Why did your directors feel the need to mention you'd be remaining full time next season? Was there any doubt or something?

Insight, you should take the first quote and incorporate it into your signature.

According to certain parties.

Probably due to rumours going about,that will do for me should be able to mount another challenge on the same budget and hopefully we can keep curier.

My, your name is such acronymony.

No idea - it was a strange one but no harm done.


Niz - c'mon old bean - i'd rather have poor spelling (and strangely you all knew what i meant so not that bad) than outrageous claims against a team that you claim to have no hatred against - just plain weird.

Do you think the Curier cash is coming from that which you expect to get for McDonald?

It's possible.

No got a scooby niz,probably not tho,more a case of freeing sturm and zemlik,s wages.I could be wrong though.

bloody good fishing ...I filly expect to mr roberts in the catch of the week section if the record angling column this week displaying a whopper of a dundonian

the internet is hilarious....bravo monsieur roberts.

Ouch where is Roberts when you need him?

concocting another award winning fly to lure some other big game fish one hopes.

Ah OK.

Wonder who this rather (presumably inadvertent) back handed compliment relates to?

It could, of course, be a lie

any other gullible aquatic vertebrates.

I'm sure this statement from the club was issued purely for the benefit of Mr Roberts. How thoughtful.

There had been murmurs about it locally too.

They have not blamed anyone else for there failure this time
So they have decided to make a positive announcement this time around.If I was a Scumdee fan I would be worried.There must be trouble ahead

I'm not too confident with "I can't say we don't have any financial problems."

So that must mean there is financial problems.

Do Dundee fans think they'll be in financial trouble if they don't get up next season? And how much do you think next seasons budget will be reliant upon McDonald's transfer fee?

Where have you been the last few years? For all intents and purposes we still have a large debt to service. Anyway, for "problems" I read more like "contraints". We can't speculate to accumulate anymore (thank feck) so consequently we have to run a very tight ship these days. The fee for Kev will be a major factor IMO.

Name me 41 other League clubs in Scotland that don't have financial problems.

Saint Johnstone!

And the other 40?

And Saint Mirren. We are loaded.

Glad to hear some positive news coming out of Dens after all the doom and gloom lately. The attempt to keep Curier shows the club is already working towards putting a side that can challenge next season together. It seems certain that we will lose McDonald in the summer and if some of that cash will be invested in keeping Curier then I think it's a great move.

Very happy to hear that we may be keeping Curier as I didn't think that would be remotely possible given his form and interest from other clubs.

The financial trouble thing doesn't worry me too much, everyone knows we aren't out of the woods yet. FFS, it was only a few years ago that we were in administration. Without any serious financial backing, we shouldn't expect to be financially safe for a while yet. Recovering from the almost fatal blow of administration is a long process when you have no major investors.

I have actually been hearing that next year has to be our year or the financial problems being rumoured will hit us badly.

Re. the signing of Curier, the statement looks like a piece of positive spin to me.

Obviously Dundee fans will be hurting because their team has just lost out on the league and these feelings will no doubt have been exacerbated by the rumours regarding both the teams financial situation and the players that might be leaving.

What better way to lift the mood than by coming out and saying that you've made an offer to the player that scored so many goals duriing his spell at the club. Do Dundee seriously think he'll sign? I don't think so, but judging by the posts on this thread, this very obvious PR move seems to have served its purpose.

Reminiscent of Daal anyone?

Why wouldn,t he sign,he said he was happy at dens and if he has recieved a decent offer as brannan has said he may accept it.He may have options in the spl and may pick them but you never know.Nothing new about our financial problems and we knew players would be leaving so nothing new there either,I,m sure alex rae had a good idea who would be leaving anyway and has already lined up talks with 3 players for next season.

Click to view attachment Can anyone put a challenge to us next season, I can't see where it will come from?

Behind you?

The fact that they've made the approach to keep Curier shows ambition on the club's part. The press release may be a PR move but it's still good to see some positive news. It was to be expected that the club would move to allay fears of financial turmoil after the amount of speculation about administration. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't sign if he feels the offer Dundee have made to him is acceptable as he has previously said he would like to stay at Dens.
